Family reunions

This is exciting news.
Sometimes when families work together it can be a complete disaster (Sophia Coppola in daddies third parter comes to mind)

But this is something that looks to be a wonderful showcase of a very talented family who have been successful when working together.

We all remember when Laura Dern and Diane Ladd (pictured) work together, it can be wonderful. Ladd got Oscar nom’d for her work with her daughter in “Wild at Heart” and when they both worked together a few years later they were both nominated for 1992’s ““Rambling Rose””.
Sadly Laura only has the one nomination to her credit, while Ladd has three. Ther will staring in “Hart’s Location”, an indie drama about a woman (Dern) trying to gain custody of her son while also looking for her estranged father who she has not seen or heard from since she was three.
What is even more interesting is the actor playing her father and directing the picture is non other that Bruce Dern, Laura’s dad and Ladd’s ex.

This will be the first time all three have appeared on film together. Bruce appeared in Mrs Munck, which Ladd directed. And Laura has appeared with her mother in Rambling Rose, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and Wild At Heart.

We all know just how the Academy love to keep it in the family (to deviate slightly, but in keeping with the theme of this post: "you hear that Drew…stop f*cking about and wow us!!") so watch this space.
